# Run Seeder

Repository: [Seeder GitHub](https://github.com/radiusxyz/seeder.git)

1. Clone the repository:

   <pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>git clone https://github.com/radiusxyz/seeder
   </strong></code></pre>
2. Build the binary

   ```sh
   cd seeder
   cargo build --release
   ```
3. Set up environment variables in `./scripts/execute/env.sh`.
4. Initialize the Seeder:

   ```bash
   ./scripts/execute/01_init_seeder.sh
   ```
5. Start the Seeder:

   ```bash
   ./scripts/execute/02_run_seeder.sh
   ```
6. Set up environment variables in `./scripts/rpc-call/env.sh`.
7. Initialize RPC: This action serves for is **r**egistering sequencing information related to the LivenessServiceManager

   <pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>./scripts/rpc-call/10_initialize.sh
   </strong></code></pre>
